The staff at Aluva Railway Station in Kerala is currently searching for approaches to utilize alternate parts of containers that don’t discover a place in the vertical gardens/greenhouses.

Stroll into the Aluva Railway Station in Kerala’s Ernakulam locale, and one is welcomed by a tremendous divider enlivened with pruned plants. Investigate, and one soon understands that the modest ‘pots’ are in truth made of plastic.For as far back as two months, the housekeeping staff at the railroad station have been changing over the utilized plastic containers that are discarded in the station to make bright vertical gardens on the divider.

Aluva Railway Station is one of the busiest in the state, with a normal footfall of around 25,000 a day. Normally, plastic waste was an issue for the cleaning staff. While the enterprise gathers all the loss from the station and the plastic is then sent to reusing units, Shantha, an individual from the staff, asks, “Yet there is a point of confinement to sending so much plastic waste each day, correct? So we thought of this plan to change over the plastic waste into something lovely and valuable.”

Shaiji, director of the office, clarifies how an utilized plastic contain arrives in the beautiful vertical garden.

“We get about 80 plastic containers consistently, from squander canisters and from stages. While we keep on sending the loss to the reusing unit, we now gather bottles that are not harmed and utilize them for making the garden. Thusly, we can upcycle no less than a part of the plastic waste. We cut out the upper segment of the container and utilize the lower partition. We paint them with splendid hues, after which we fill it with soil and other common manures. When we sufficiently gathered containers and we got plants from the Agriculture Department, we could set up the garden,” says Shaiji.

For Shantha, who has been working at the station for as far back as three years, her next plan is to figure out how to utilize the upper segments of the container.

“I have a few thoughts regarding that. We could utilize two of them and influence it in a jewel to shape to fill plants in it, or even place them on the ground and do likewise. We are yet to get consent for that sort of work. Once that completes, we would utilize a whole plastic container for cultivating,” Shantha says.

The Future

At that time, they used the ‘bottled’ plants to create a sort of barricade on the railway track, to prevent people from crossing over to the other platform.However, with the bottles put up on strings, it did not last long. However, the staff is in no mood to give up. In the next few weeks, a net barricade will be placed, on which a similar vertical garden will come up.Not exclusively will it enable Aluva to have a ‘green station’, it is additionally anticipated that would prevent individuals from putting their lives in threat when they hop tracks.
